Governor approves ₹5,000 crore KKRDB action plan for 2025–26
Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has approved the ₹5,000-crore action plan for the year 2025–26 prepared by the Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB), giving a major boost to development initiatives across the region. Jewargi MLA and KKRDB chairperson Ajay Singh, who released a press note on Thursday, said the approval came in the third week of July after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah submitted the plan for the Governor's assent. 'The early clearance this year will allow the board to begin implementation well on time and take up more development works with added momentum,' he said. The current year's action plan was finalised during the KKRDB board meeting on May 10, 2025, in the presence of elected representatives, including MLAs, MPs, and Ministers. Mr. Singh said the action plan was prepared based on recommendations of the Nanjundappa Committee and in line with the Comprehensive Development Report (CDR) index. The allocation has been planned proportionately to the population and categorised under micro, macro, discretionary grants, and administrative expenses, he added. 'In previous years, there had been delays in approval. For instance, the 2023–24 plan was cleared in December, even though the board met in August and submitted the plan soon after. Despite the delay, the board implemented projects worth ₹2,009 crore across key sectors like education, health and infrastructure by the end of March,' Dr. Singh noted. He said this year's action plan was prepared within the fiscal limits set by the State Budget and duly cleared by the Finance Department. 'We had received permission from the Finance Department to prepare a ₹5,000 crore plan, and it has now been approved by the Governor without delay,' he added. The board had submitted the draft to Raj Bhavan promptly after the Chief Minister's approval, and Dr. Singh personally met the Governor to thank him for the swift response. 'The Governor's timely approval in July itself has given Kalyana Karnataka a new impetus for development. It allows us to begin implementation at the earliest and ensure speedy progress in backward areas,' Dr. Singh said.
